A [[eunuch]] generally means a person who was [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]], and who was [[castration|castrated]]. Though many historical eunuchs were made so without their consent, eunuchs often occupied a nonbinary [[gender role]] (often called [[third gender]]), and some of them were what we now call [[transgender]]. Then, as now, some people are eunuchs by choice, and some of them see this as a [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity]]. | A [[eunuch]] generally means a person who was [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]], and who was [[castration|castrated]].
